Deaf Restaurant Sees Business Opportunity

There seems to be a restaurant for everything today. Restaurants with cats, BBC Sherlock themed restaurants, and even restaurants in Japan dedicated to robotics. While these restaurants are all well and good, they don't serve much of a purpose other than entertaining diners.
